Pristina, 20 April: [Raska-Prizren] Bishop Artemije has denied [Kosovo Prime Minister] Agim Ceku's request to attend Easter church services in Gracanica.
The Raska-Prizren Bishop reminded the Kosovo premier that he had been living as a refugee himself for the past seven years and that his residence and cathedral were burned to the ground in March 2004, along with many other landmarks of the Orthodox Church.
"We told him that, considering that we have been living with the status of refugees for nearly seven years, outside our residence in Prizren, which was burned during the riots on 17 March 2004, along with our cathedral and many other holy places, we are not able to welcome Mr Ceku before we have returned to our restored residence, and our people have returned to their homes," Bishop Artemije said.

Isn't there something in Orthodox-Christian Religion about "love thy neighboor" or "forgive"?
If his church was burned down why didn't Belgrade repair it? He wants Serbia to control Kosova and have Kosova repair the church (which it is)? If his church was burned in Kosova and he is living in Kosova that completely compells the idea of a refugee. A refugee is someone who flees from his country somewhere else because of a reason.
Here is what dictionary.com has to say about it:
Main Entry: ref·u·gee
Pronunciation: "re-fyu-'jE
Function: noun
: an individual seeking refuge or asylum; especially : an individual who has left his or her native country and is unwilling or unable to return to it because of persecution or fear of persecution (as because of race, religion, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Does this make the "Serbian Bishop" a refugee...and since when does a bishop belong to a country I thought the bishop belonged to the house of God. His church not of a country
This is not the first time that Serbian priests ban well-wishing Albanians to enter their churches. It has to do with the deep rooted Serbian racism toward Albanians.
Please note that we are dealing here with Serbian Christian Fundamentalists who are no better than Muslim Fundamentalists.
Remember that recent video of Serbs being blest by a priest-fundamentalist before going to murder innocent Bosniaks in Bosnia?
The pillar of Serbian racism, xenophobia and nationalism is Serbian Orthodox Church, that is why Serbian Churches were burned down in Kosovo by angry Albanians, and if it wasn’t the Albanian Vojvodas who protected some of those churches no Serbian Church would have been left in Kosovo today.
ok we have a right to ban you look at what you did to us.
OH PUH-LEEZE
I think the Serb President wanted to go to Rugovno's funeral and Albs said no. Big deal.
Serbs can't stand a multiethnic Kosova. When the premier extends the hand of hope and peace they reject it. It's not in their interest for Kosova to succeed. Like terrorists, they grow on political failure and we musn't give them that pleasure.
Good job Mr Ç-e-k- to the I adore u! You've been revealing the true nature of Serb crybabies. And remember, it doesn't matter what Serbs say, we are proving ourselves to the international community and espcecially to NATO. We owe them this because they saved us.
Happy Easter 2.0 ;)
Last week he was in Croatia celebrating with his Catholic wife and children for their Easter. Now he asked to go celbrate Orthodox Easter. Man, I love his attitude! In fact this kind of genetic makeup is so rare in Serbia that their women are lining up to have a baby with him so that chances of joining EU get better in 18 years.
There was no farse in his request. He is the prime minister of all of Kosova, therefore he should be accepted by the serbian minority.
It's a good step in the right direction, but in order to
complete the standards, minority serbs need to cooperate, otherwise it's Mission Impossible.
We, Kosovars, 100% support Ceku, I mean cross party lines he has the support.get it!
It was Ceku's KLA that damaged the church and he wants to go there? Why doesn't he say sorry to the Serbs first. He owes them years of apologies.
Why dont serbs apologize for what they did in Kosova?
What the fuck are drooling about. Get a fucking life bitch! There are enough sites for you rapists why dont you go there and bs all day if ya like.
“For as long as the Serbs will not understand and realize that they are on foreign lands and territory, they will never be in peace or have good neighboring relations with Albanians”.

PS
Shut the fuck up!
IFK
Good move by the Serbian Orthodox Church. Let them rebuild our churches first then come visit us.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to everyone .....
The church rejected it because they thought it a propaganda stunt. They did not like the idea of Ceku abusing their Easter for his propaganda purposes.
If Ceku had said something like "I understand how you feel and I will try to improve your situation. I hope next year you will feel me worthy of your hospitality." he would have behaved like a real premier for all the people in Kosovo.
Instead he chose to bring it in such a way that it looked like the bishop had insulted him. So he is doing his best to put the bishop in a bad light. This indicates that the bishop was very probably right when he saw the visit as just propaganda.
CEKU IS THE DEVIL HE SHOULD AND WILL BE HUNG LIKE A PIG IN THE STREETS OF PRISTINA. HE WILL BE PUNNISHED! HE IS A CRIMINAL AND THE U.S WILL GIVE UP ON ALBANIANS AS SOON AS THE HAVE NO USE FOR PATHETIC INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE AND SERBS WILL TAKE BACK KOSOVO FULLY!(WE HAVE IN THE PAST) GO BACK TO YOUR SHITTY 3RD WORLD ALBANIA WHERE YOU BELONG. SERBS WILL NEVER GIVE KOSOVO UP.
